Kid-friendly holiday rentals in São Bartolomeu de Messines

We hadden een super verblijf in casa da tia. Alte is een charmant en rustig dorpje en het huisje zit daar midden in. Vlakbij de rivier waar je kan gaan zwemmen en ook vlakbij enkele bars. Het huisje zelf had alles wat je nodig hebt en was kraaknet. Aanrader!

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus liegt - bekanntermaßen - direkt am Strand und ist dort auch das einzige Wohnhaus. Es ist komplett ausgestattet, insbesondere in der Küche fehlt es auch an nichts. Und auch das renovierte Bad ist sehr schön. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Fabio war sehr freundlich und die Unterkunft war sehr schön

Wohlfühl Unterkunft! Wir haben uns ab der ersten Minute sehr wohl bie Mateus gefühlt. Tolle Einrichtung mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Küche top ausgestattet und große, saubere Badezimmer. Die Anlage ist liebevoll gestaltet, der Pool lädt zur Erfrischung ein. Als Ausgangspunkt um die Gegend zu erkunden ideal. Danke Mateus!

Petite maison rurale toute équipée. Le mobilier reste basique. Endroit hyper calme et légèrement isolé, loin du tourisme de masse. Mais les sites intéressants restent accessibles en voiture. La maisonnette est un peu sombre ce qui permet de rester au frais en été. Jorge est un hôte très sympathique accueillant et disponible. Il parle un bon français. il propose de nombreuses activités aux alentours. Nous avons pu recharger notre voiture électrique.

My favourite Airbnb experience to date. It was stunningly decorated, cozy and inviting - we enjoyed spending time in the space in-between beach hangs and afternoon strolls in the area. Maggie was friendly, welcoming, responsive and kind. She was a wonderful host! The home is close to so many beaches, restaurants and things to do. Truly perfect location and experience over all. Not to mention, Maggie gave us incredible recommendations for restaurants and things to do. 20/10 recommend. A dream vacation in Lagos.

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche an diesem wunderschönen Ort. Es ist ein rustikales Häuschen mit herrlichem Blick auf die Wellen von Arrifana. Das weiße Rauschen war absolut entspannend und der ganze Ort total entschleunigend. Hugo war sehr reaktionsschnell und alles lief reibungslos. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

We stayed at Isabel’s villa for 9 nights, we were 4 adults and 4 kids. The villa is fantastic - much better than the pictures, well equipped with everything you need and very spacious (big rooms, lots of outdoor space, bbq and a big pool). We paid to have the pool heated which was beneficial as some days it was a bit chilly. The villa is fairly remote, we had cars but also used Ubers to get around. It’s about a 3-4 min drive to the nearest supermarket and a 5 min drive to the main town and beach. Isabel recommended some day trips and local restaurants, all of which were great. She was also flexible with check in and check out times which was super handy with the kids, and was very responsive throughout the trip when we had questions. We’d 100% recommend this villa for a family holiday and hope to return!

Great place right on the sand of a beautiful beach, with a short ferry ride into old town Faro. Ideal location.

Cannot recommend this stay enough! A real local vibe with beautiful Portuguese touches including a view of the ocean and a hammock for ultimate relaxation. We loved our stay in this cute, quite, idyllic town. Some of our favorite times of our trip through Portugal were here visiting Praia da Marinha (WOW!), Earth Cafe (best cappuccinos - heaven on earth), Le Crô (delicious tapas and amazing service). Our stay was all around incredible and utter bliss.

Era Mar Apartments is a fantastic place to stay in Faro. My husband and I loved how close we were to restaurants and markets. Because of the quality of windows, you wouldn't know you are in the middle of old town Faro. Then, when you want to be outside and soak in the energy, there are three different outside areas to enjoy the sun, coffee and dry your clothes. Tatiana was super helpful with local recommendations, and, specifically an awesome vegan restaurant called Outro Lado. A must-try place if you are plant-based or not. Thanks again to Tatiana for hosting us while we explored the Algarve coast. 🙏

Raquel is one of the most communicative and responsive hosts I’ve ever interacted with on Airbnb. The location of this home is unbelievable. I fell in love with Albufeira from the first few hours i was there, and couldn’t believe how well-situated this place was to all the fun the area has to offer. ACs and most amenities worked well. I’m not sure if it’s a design related to homes in that area, but the open bathroom in the master bedroom, including the shower design, seemed impractical. I needed to rearrange items in that area, and wipe the floor/toilet after every shower. The iron was unusable due to a stain on the ironing surface, and risk of damaging clothes. The washing machine was small and not very effective. We needed to do a lot of loads to clean our clothes, then air dry them, but glad we had a washer! Overall, this is a great place, Raquel’s a great host, and i recommend booking, for anyone visiting Albufeira. Great for 2 ppl, but could accommodate a couple more too. Enjoy!

Aurelia’s house had a welcoming atmosphere from the moment I walked in. I especially appreciated the local guidebook on the living room table- it’s clear Aurelia truly cares about her guests’ experience.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Nous avons eu une hôte accueillante et souriante. Les instructions etaient très claire, l’appartement très propre et le quartier a deux pas de la mer. Seul bémol, le bruit des travaux en journée mais rien de repoussant. C’était un plaisir !

Ich habe mich in der Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt und hatte eine traumhafte Zeit an der Algarve. José war sehr nett und zuvorkommend und hatte einige Tips für Restaurants in der Nähe, er war sehr bemüht und war immer erreichbar. Auch beim Check in war José flexibel und erklärte alles wichtige verständlich. Die Unterkunft war gemütlich und sauber und ein Perfekter Startpunkt um die Algarve zu erkunden, auch der nächstgelegene Strand ist wirklich schön. Danke für alles, gerne wieder!

Apartment wie beschrieben - sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und jederzeit erreichbar und haben schnell auf Rückfragen reagiert.

Die Unterkunft von Marco war richtig super. 9/10 Punkten - warum: Ich dachte laut den Fotos, dass es das Nachbarhaus ist mit Pool. Wir waren im ersten Stock und eigentlich bevorzuge ich mit meinem 5 jährigen Sohn eine Unterkunft im Erdgeschoss, dass war leider nicht ganz klar ersichtlich. Top war: nicht mal 5 Minuten zu Fuß zum Strand, tolle Restaurants am Strand, teurer Supermarkt gleich um die Ecke. Die Wohnung ist super sauber und die Küche hat für Selbstversorger alles was man unbedingt braucht aber auch nicht mehr, kein Nudelsieb und auch keine Zitronenpresse, zB. Geschirr auch minimal von der Stückanzahl (6 Gläser). Marco und seine Mama sind super nett und hilfreich beim Check in, weiters haben wir sie nicht gebraucht, da es nicht unser erster Portugal Urlaub war. Preis-Leistung mit Pool top - kann man nichts ausschließen. Portimão super Lage mit Auto in 50 Minuten in Faro Flughafen und in 30 Minuten in Lagos. Liebe Grüße, Jessica & Family.

Maria was a great host and so helpful with anything requested. We had an issue with the lobby entrance of the building and she resolved this by communicating with the building management. We had a great time in the accomodation and felt relaxed for our week abroad with the children

Fabulous location! Beach, amazing boardwalk, and town very near, just lots of stairs! But that is beautiful Portugal! Views from porch were fantastic; everything you needed was in the kitchen and it was a very welcoming place. We didn’t use the pool, but it is a good size and well maintained. Master shower is a bit tight, but a big beautiful bath is 5 steps away, so really no big deal. I would definitely book here again if the opportunity arises!

We loved staying at Marlene's place! The location can't be beat. The views were amazing and we enjoyed the easy access to the beach and the walking trails along the cliffs. We found the walk to town totally doable (10-15mins) with also a few restaurants even closer (Mar, Luca's rooftop, etc.). The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic week in Elisa’s apartment, the view is beautiful! So lovely to see and hear the sea everyday. It’s a short walk into town with lots of great bars and restaurants, we also easily got parked nearby. Elisa was a great host, very responsive and I recommend reading her blog with loads of great recommendations for exploring the algarve. Thank you Elisa!

The accommodation, hosts, and location were all like a dream—filled with love and beauty. The owners were incredibly kind and caring, always helpful while also respecting our privacy. Our whole family enjoyed every moment, from watching the golfers to driving through the orange groves, and having fun on the trampoline and in the pool. Everything was top-notch. If I had to search for a negative (and I really had to think hard to find one), it would be just the occasional thought of whether a golfer's ball might come flying our way! 😂

Wow!! What an amazing place! One of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed in! The photos don’t do it justice! So much nicer!! Super clean, tastefully decorated, very well equipped, fantastic rooftop terrace, and gorgeous beach views! The location is fantastic, literally a two minute walk to the beautiful Meia Praia beach. Carolina is so friendly and was super attentive during our stay! Highly recommend and will definitely be back soon!!

Carlota’s place is located in amazing Villa with beautiful surroundings! Amazing beaches to get to and her local recommendations were excellent ! The pool was great but unfortunately due to the weather it was a bit too cold to use and shower facilities were under construction. The only downside is the bed option, as described from the picture, the main bedroom is with 2 twin beds and a sofa bed. One big bed would’ve been more comfortable but breathtakingly beautiful view makes everything ok. We had some issue with laundry machine as it wasn’t in a good condition but we cleaned it and bought strong scent laundry detergent made it usable again! Wonderful memories from the beautiful landscape and activities and especial thanks to warm and heart full neighbor downstairs! Thank you again and it was a pleasant stay!
